"'Gonzo' is a must-see for everyone." - Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

"Accessible, entertaining and hugely kinetic..." - Tasha Robinson, Chicago Tribune

Gonzo is the definitive film biography of Hunter Thompson, a mythic American figure, a man that Tom Wolfe called our "greatest comic writer," the man that launched a thousand sips of bourbon, endless snorts of cocaine and a brash, irreverent, fearless style of journalism - named "gonzo" after an anarchic blues riff by James Booker. Gonzo is directed by Alex Gibney, the Academy Award nominated director of Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room and the director of the Academy Award winning documentary, Taxi to the Dark Side. While Gibney shaped the screen story, every narrated word in the film springs from the typewriters of Thompson himself. Those words are given life by Johnny Depp, the actor who once shadowed Thompson's every move for the screen version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and who bankrolled Thompson's spectacular funeral (photographed for this film) in which the good doctor's ashes were fired from a rocket launcher mounted with a towering two-thumbed fist whose palm held a giant peyote button.
